Jordan Brand has reimagined one of its most iconic colorways — the classic “Bred” — on the Air Jordan 1 Mid for 2025. Known for continuously reviving and tweaking its heritage designs, Jordan Brand’s latest take on the “Bred” colorway is one that will appeal to both newcomers and loyal fans alike, available in both grade school (GS) and adult sizes.
Design Details: A Fresh Take on a Classic
This 2025 edition maintains the essential Bulls-inspired palette of red, black, and white but with a few notable twists. The classic black-and-red color blocking seen on the original “Bred” or “Banned” Jordan 1 is subtly altered in this iteration, with a reversed red and black treatment around the collar and its surrounding panels. This shift in color distribution creates a fresh aesthetic, offering a slightly different take on the famous design while still preserving its essence.
The Wings logo on this model also departs from tradition by swapping its typical red finish for a crisp white, giving it a distinct pop against the surrounding black. Finally, the shoe’s black outsole provides a grounded finish that further sets this “Bred” iteration apart from its predecessors.
Why the “Bred” Colorway Resonates
For Jordan fans, the “Bred” colorway embodies the legacy of Michael Jordan’s career and the heritage of the Chicago Bulls. Originally associated with the Air Jordan 1 “Banned” — a shoe that was famously outlawed by the NBA for its non-conforming colors — the “Bred” design has become synonymous with rebellion, excellence, and basketball history. This refreshed version lets fans experience that legacy anew and at a more accessible price than the soaring resale values of previous “Bred” releases.
Sizing and Pricing
The Air Jordan 1 Mid “Bred” will release in early 2025 in both grade school ($110) and adult ($125) sizes, making it available for a wide range of fans. Given the popularity of past “Bred” models — including the 2016 Jordan 1 “Bred” which continues to command resale prices around $300 in GS sizing — this new drop offers an opportunity to capture that signature look without the high resale tag.
Release Date and Availability
While an exact release date hasn’t yet been announced, the Air Jordan 1 Mid “Bred” is anticipated to launch in early 2025. Stay tuned for official images and more details as they become available, as this release will likely be a hot item for Jordan collectors and fans eager to own a fresh take on a timeless classic.
